How well Ziggy holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Ziggy gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,630 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.
