How well Marmot holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 17°, Marmot gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,200 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.
