Double black (off-piste) Mt Shasta, CA
Little Canada drops 920 vertical feet over 2,563 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 930 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 34 named runs at Mt Shasta. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 21°, Little Canada gets about 143% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Shasta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Mt Shasta. Its top sits at 6,460 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
