Siberia drops 468 vertical feet over 1,777 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 42% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 98 named runs at Schweitzer. It faces east.

How well Siberia holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 16°, Siberia gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 6,020 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.
