How well Dipsy holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 11°, Dipsy gets about 125% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 4,410 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.
