How well Knight holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Knight gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,400 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.
