Double black Cypress Mountain, BC
Darkside drops 202 vertical feet over 549 feet of skiing. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 22°, Darkside gets about 151% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,780 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.
