How well Niagra holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Niagra gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,500 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
