How well Pine Martin holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Pine Martin gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,620 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.
