How well Stump Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, Stump Run gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kirkwood does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Kirkwood. Its top sits at 9,160 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.
