How well Davos Drop holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 23°, Davos Drop gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 10,130 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.
