Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Mine Shaft drops 805 vertical feet over 2,655 feet of skiing. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 18°, Mine Shaft gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,960 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.
