How well Easy Street holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Easy Street gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 5,240 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.
