Green Silver Summit, AB
Larsen's Cut drops 229 vertical feet over 1,283 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 1,100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 11 named runs at Silver Summit. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 10°, Larsen's Cut gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Summit does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Silver Summit. Its top sits at 4,320 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.
