How well Luggi's holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 20°, Luggi's gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Diamond Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Diamond Peak. Its top sits at 7,510 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.
