How well Moose Meadow holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Moose Meadow gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 73rd shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,100 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.
