How well Shelter holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Shelter gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,320 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.
