How well Double Shot holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Double Shot gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 8,140 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.
