Blue Ski Smithers, BC
Upper Gully drops 222 vertical feet over 1,390 feet of skiing. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 9°, Upper Gully gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Smithers does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Ski Smithers. Its top sits at 5,400 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.
