How well Beaver Slide holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 7°, Beaver Slide gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,860 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.
