How well Outlaw holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 12°, Outlaw gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,930 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.
