How well White Wolf holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, White Wolf gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th 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.
