How well Never Sweat holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 24°, Never Sweat gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 7,760 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.
