Green Castle Mountain, BC
Buffalo Flats drops 836 vertical feet over 3,622 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 128th steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Buffalo Flats gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 5,720 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
