Locomotion drops 635 vertical feet over 2,125 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 59th steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces west.

How well Locomotion holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 18°, Locomotion gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 2,510 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.
