How well Tom's Mom holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 20°, Tom's Mom gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,490 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.
