How well Easy Out holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 4°, Easy Out gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blacktail does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Blacktail. Its top sits at 6,280 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.
