Black diamond Cypress Mountain, BC
Upper Coyote 7 drops 458 vertical feet over 1,155 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 37 named runs at Cypress Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 24°, Upper Coyote 7 gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th sunniest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,560 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.
