Green Ski Smithers, BC
Skybound drops 620 vertical feet over 8,192 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 16 named runs at Ski Smithers. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 5°, Skybound gets about 131% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Smithers does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Ski Smithers. Its top sits at 4,670 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.
