How well Power Trip holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Power Trip gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 4,480 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.
