How well Redhat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Redhat gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,590 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.
