How well Graceland holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Graceland gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 8,140 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
