How well Misfit holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Misfit gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,640 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.
