How well Lower Canadian Way holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 8°, Lower Canadian Way gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 6,840 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. 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.
