Blue Cypress Mountain, BC
Maelle Ricker's drops 891 vertical feet over 3,663 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 2,580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Maelle Ricker's gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,910 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.
