How well Goat Trail holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Goat Trail gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,560 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.
