How well Dipper Doodle holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Dipper Doodle gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,160 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.
