How well Vertigo holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 22°, Vertigo gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,160 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.
