Black diamond Silver Summit, AB
Turkey Trot drops 363 vertical feet over 1,109 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 440 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 11 named runs at Silver Summit. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 20°, Turkey Trot gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Summit does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Silver Summit. Its top sits at 4,600 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
