How well Un Run holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 7°, Un Run gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,900 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.
