How well Trumpeter holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 21°, Trumpeter gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cypress Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Cypress Mountain. Its top sits at 3,910 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.
