Black diamond Castle Mountain, BC
Easy Out drops 306 vertical feet over 2,331 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 55th steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Easy Out gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 5,890 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.
