How well Timberwolf holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Timberwolf gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,750 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.
