How well Easter Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 33°, Easter Bowl gets about 35% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 5,790 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.
