How well Collage holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Collage gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 12,020 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.
