How well Greenhorn holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 7°, Greenhorn gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 6,760 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.
