Green Castle Mountain, BC
Cinch Fork drops 333 vertical feet over 3,338 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 88% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 133rd steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 6°, Cinch Fork gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 5,680 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.
