How well The Moz holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, The Moz gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,520 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.
