Whistler drops 270 vertical feet over 1,635 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 88th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces northeast.

How well Whistler holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Whistler gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 3,010 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.
