Black diamond Revelstoke, BC
Drop In drops 877 vertical feet over 2,078 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 42° about 1,350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 26°, Drop In gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 7,330 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.
