Blue Cypress Mountain, BC
Horsefly drops 106 vertical feet over 379 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 16°, Horsefly gets about 149% 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 11th sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 4,390 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.
