Black diamond Cypress Mountain, BC
Lower Trumpeter drops 109 vertical feet over 533 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Lower Trumpeter gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,170 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
