How well Silver Dollar holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Silver Dollar gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,610 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.
