Black diamond Revelstoke, BC
Parachute drops 281 vertical feet over 464 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 59° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 40°, Parachute gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 6,790 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.
