How well Lord's Retreat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 5°, Lord's Retreat gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 6,370 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.
