How well Stage Fright holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 8°, Stage Fright gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 106th shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,550 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.
