Black diamond Cypress Mountain, BC
The B Hip drops 439 vertical feet over 1,196 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, The B Hip gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,720 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.
