How well Flo Joe holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Flo Joe gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,680 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.
