How well T-33 holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 13°, T-33 gets about 132% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 4,680 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.
