Blue Revelstoke, BC
Critical Path drops 1,905 vertical feet over 6,804 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 97% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 17°, Critical Path gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 7,300 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.
