Blue Silver Star, BC
Cloud Nine drops 66 vertical feet over 290 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 56 named runs at Silver Star. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, Cloud Nine gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,870 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.
