Double black Revelstoke, BC
Powder Assault drops 1,625 vertical feet over 5,054 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 45° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 19°, Powder Assault gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 7,630 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.
