How well Tree Farm holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 19°, Tree Farm gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,510 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.
