How well Upper Muzzle holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Upper Muzzle gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Labrador Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Labrador Mountain. Its top sits at 1,850 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.
