How well Trilby's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Trilby's gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 7,880 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.
