Blue Castle Mountain, BC
Dawn drops 295 vertical feet over 1,250 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 57% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 129th steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, Dawn gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 4,940 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.
