How well Poma Trail holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Poma Trail gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 6,830 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.
