How well Johnny's Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 22°, Johnny's Run gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,200 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.
