How well 13-F holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 6°, 13-F gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 4,920 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.
