How well Corrona holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Corrona gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eldora does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Eldora. Its top sits at 9,520 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.
