Black diamond Cypress Mountain, BC
Blow By drops 341 vertical feet over 970 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 43° about 530 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, Blow By gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,750 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.
