How well Gracias Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 16°, Gracias Ridge gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 7,160 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
