How well Elkhorn holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 25°, Elkhorn gets about 92% 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 20th sunniest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 6,540 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.

Nearby at Panorama

Measured by ZRankings from 30-meter elevation data from Natural Resources Canada, too coarse to measure steepness. Steepest pitch is the steepest stretch of about 50 vertical feet along the skiable line. Run lines come from OpenStreetMap and can sit a little off the skied path.
