Blue Fernie, BC
Cruiser drops 1,136 vertical feet over 3,610 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 1,580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 59th steepest of 119 named runs at Fernie. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 19°, Cruiser gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 5,490 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.
