How well Hutch holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 17°, Hutch gets about 136% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,920 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.

Nearby at Cypress Mountain

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.
