How well Crazy Raven holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 21°, Crazy Raven gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,530 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
