How well Rideout holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Rideout gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,840 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.
