How well Trouble Creek holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Trouble Creek gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Anthony Lakes does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Anthony Lakes. Its top sits at 7,700 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.
