How well Roundup holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Roundup gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,120 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.
