How well China Might holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 19°, China Might gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st sunniest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 4,730 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.
