How well Olympian holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Olympian gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
