Black diamond Silver Star, BC
Uncle Buck drops 614 vertical feet over 1,618 feet of skiing. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 22°, Uncle Buck gets about 37% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,030 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.
