Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 13°, Silver Lining gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th sunniest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 5,540 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
