Green Revelstoke, BC
Big Bend drops 395 vertical feet over 3,127 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 1,230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 36% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 80th steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 7°, Big Bend gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 5,810 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.
