How well Peter-built holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Peter-built gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 7,510 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
