La Siala drops 214 vertical feet over 974 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 13% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 13°, La Siala gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,730 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.
