How well Poseidon holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Poseidon gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,900 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
