Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Minerva drops 926 vertical feet over 2,485 feet of skiing. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, Minerva gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd 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.
