How well Windjammer holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Windjammer gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,460 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.
