Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Quicksilver drops 475 vertical feet over 1,021 feet of skiing. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 28°, Quicksilver gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,000 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.
