How well Easy Rider holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 10°, Easy Rider gets about 146% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Smithers does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Ski Smithers. Its top sits at 4,730 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.
