How well St. Pauli holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 14°, St. Pauli gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,520 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
