How well E1 holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 15°, E1 gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,420 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.
