Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Holy Smokes drops 1,091 vertical feet over 2,787 feet of skiing. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Holy Smokes gets about 40% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,200 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.
