Black diamond Silver Mountain, ID
Heavenly drops 313 vertical feet over 814 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 84% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Heavenly gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,770 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.
