How well Double Trouble holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 23°, Double Trouble gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 6,690 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.
