How well Speed Goat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Speed Goat gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,340 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.
