Canmore Ski Village Mountain
The landform the resort sits on: the shape of the hill beyond the pistes, how steep it gets, and where it stands among the mountains on JapowDB.
One hillside, and it falls away to the west.
That steep ground sits high on the mountain.
Where this vertical sits among the mountains on JapowDB
210 m, more than 0 of the 34 mountains on JapowDB.
The mountain
岐登牛山 (Kitoushi-yama)
- Landform
- Kitoushi-yama is a small hill inside the Kitoushi park. The lifts reach 456 m from a base at 246 m, which is 210 m of vertical, the least on JapowDB, and that is the whole of the hill.
- Rock
- The rock is chert from a Cretaceous accretionary complex: deep ocean silica, scraped onto the edge of the continent as one plate went under another. It is the hardest rock on JapowDB and among the oldest, and the hill on top of it is the smallest.

Measured
01
Which way it faces
Faces west.
Most of the mapped runs fall away toward the west.
02
How steep it gets
That steep ground sits high on the mountain.
Its steepest tenth is steeper than 7 of the 34 mountains here that carry pitch data.
16.1° the steepest tenth of runs
03
How varied it is
Its runs range from 9.4° to 16.3°.
Half of them are gentler than 11.3°. Each mark is one run.
That spread is wider than 1 of the 34 mountains here that carry pitch data.
04
What grows on it
Mostly deciduous: broadleaf woods and larch. They stand bare through the winter, so you can see a long way into them.
