How well Good Finger holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 27°, Good Finger gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 8,020 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.
