How well Enchanted Forest holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 28°, Enchanted Forest gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,030 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.
