How well Hickory Run holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 18°, Hickory Run gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 4,150 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.
