How well Haunted Forest holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 30°, Haunted Forest gets about 29% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's shadier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 8,090 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.
