How well Nemesis holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Nemesis gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,060 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.
