Just looking on Google Earth, I noticed that almost all ski areas in British Columbia are almost directly south facing. The one notable exception is Whistler, which is north facing. Does it not make a difference at that latitude on which face the ski area is located or is there some other reason for having almost all of the ski resorts face south?
