How well Vancouver holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 12°, Vancouver gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,740 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.
