How well Infinity holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Infinity gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,870 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.
