How well Whiteout holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Whiteout gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,290 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.
