How well The Stump holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 17°, The Stump gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,240 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.
