How well Monkey Bars holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 11°, Monkey Bars gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 6,340 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
