How well Tigger's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 17°, Tigger's gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bear Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th shadiest named run at Bear Valley. Its top sits at 7,960 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.
