How well Inga's Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Inga's Run gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Afton Alps does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Afton Alps. Its top sits at 1,000 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.
