Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Fastback drops 214 vertical feet over 712 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 56 named runs at Silver Star. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 18°, Fastback gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,930 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.
