Black diamond Silver Mountain, ID
Quicksliver drops 434 vertical feet over 1,195 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, Quicksliver gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 6,130 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.
