How well Sunshine holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 11°, Sunshine gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 3,520 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.
