How well Giggly Gully holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Giggly Gully gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 4,270 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.
