Black diamond Revelstoke, BC
Pitch Black drops 3,827 vertical feet over 10,560 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 5,030 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 21°, Pitch Black gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 6,560 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
