How well Passenthru holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Passenthru gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Big Powderhorn. Its top sits at 1,370 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.
