How well Liberty holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Liberty gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,510 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.
