How well Slots Gully holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Slots Gully gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,210 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.
