How well Missing Link holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 24°, Missing Link gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 9,820 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.
