How well Charlie holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Charlie gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,500 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.
