Green Silver Star, BC
Silver Queen drops 245 vertical feet over 1,603 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 71% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 56 named runs at Silver Star. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 9°, Silver Queen gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 57th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,410 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.
