Blue Ski Smithers, BC
Cutoff drops 325 vertical feet over 1,540 feet of skiing. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 13°, Cutoff gets about 136% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Smithers does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Ski Smithers. Its top sits at 5,350 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.
