Blue Cypress Mountain, BC
Primary Power drops 208 vertical feet over 979 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 49% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 12°, Primary Power gets about 139% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,340 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.
