How well North Of North holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 21°, North Of North gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,510 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.
