Blue Cypress Mountain, BC
Ashley McIvor's drops 342 vertical feet over 1,240 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 93% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Ashley McIvor's gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,360 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.
