How well Silver Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Silver Ridge gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 5,750 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.
