How well Shawammy's Way holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Shawammy's Way gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 8,650 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.
