How well Central Pacific holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Central Pacific gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,670 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
