Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Bear Claw drops 298 vertical feet over 1,146 feet of skiing. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 15°, Bear Claw gets about 139% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,160 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.
