How well Trojan holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Trojan gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th 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.
