How well Twilight holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Twilight gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 4,970 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.
