How well Upper Wood In holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 7°, Upper Wood In gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,960 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.
