Blue Castle Mountain, BC
Bandito drops 778 vertical feet over 1,928 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,440 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 94th steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 24°, Bandito gets about 127% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,980 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.
