Double black Panorama, BC
Heli Face drops 1,091 vertical feet over 2,704 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 830 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 34 named runs at Panorama. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 24°, Heli Face gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 68th shadiest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 7,710 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
