Black diamond Silver Mountain, ID
Last Chance drops 403 vertical feet over 1,346 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 18°, Last Chance gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,450 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.
