Double black Cypress Mountain, BC
Crater Glades drops 650 vertical feet over 1,572 feet of skiing. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 25°, Crater Glades gets about 171% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 4,000 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.

Measured by ZRankings from 30-meter elevation data from Natural Resources Canada, too coarse to measure steepness. Steepest pitch is the steepest stretch of about 50 vertical feet along the skiable line. Run lines come from OpenStreetMap and can sit a little off the skied path.
