Unrated Castle Mountain, BC
Whitebark Bowl drops 365 vertical feet over 667 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 511 unrated runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 34°, Whitebark Bowl gets about 142% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,610 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.
