How well Triple Treat holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Triple Treat gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,470 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.
