Blue Silver Star, BC
Blast Off drops 466 vertical feet over 3,076 feet of skiing. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 9°, Blast Off gets about 141% 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 23rd sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,120 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.
