Double black (off-piste) Silver Star, BC
Dirt Gulley drops 573 vertical feet over 1,635 feet of skiing. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Dirt Gulley gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,940 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.
