Green Ski Smithers, BC
Alpine Meadows drops 559 vertical feet over 3,491 feet of skiing. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 9°, Alpine Meadows gets about 136% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Smithers does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Ski Smithers. Its top sits at 5,430 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.
