Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Soreback drops 280 vertical feet over 944 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 56 named runs at Silver Star. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 18°, Soreback gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,890 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.
