How well Skier's Lane holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Skier's Lane gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,200 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.
