Canadian Discovery drops 272 vertical feet over 1,746 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,620 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 34 named runs at Panorama. It faces west.

How well Canadian Discovery holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 9°, Canadian Discovery gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 4,380 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.
