Blue Revelstoke, BC
Blowdown drops 429 vertical feet over 2,046 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,840 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 75th steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 12°, Blowdown gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 6,220 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.
