How well E2 holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, E2 gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,430 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.
