How well Trolley Car holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Trolley Car gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 57th shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,130 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.
