Simmer Down drops 275 vertical feet over 1,121 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 56th steepest of 80 named runs at Revelstoke. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Simmer Down gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 5,400 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.
