Blue Silver Star, BC
Running on Empty drops 488 vertical feet over 2,021 feet of skiing. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 14°, Running on Empty gets about 135% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,640 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.
