How well Show Off holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Show Off gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 7,400 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.
