Green Cypress Mountain, BC
Runway drops 177 vertical feet over 1,105 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 9°, Runway gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,190 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
