Black diamond Panorama, BC
Cliff Glades drops 663 vertical feet over 2,318 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 1,980 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 34 named runs at Panorama. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 18°, Cliff Glades gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 4,810 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
