Blue Silver Summit, AB
Berry Pickers drops 458 vertical feet over 2,169 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 11 named runs at Silver Summit. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Berry Pickers gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Summit does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Silver Summit. Its top sits at 4,410 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.
