How well High Point Bypass holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 5°, High Point Bypass gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 73rd shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,170 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.
