How well Skadt holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Skadt gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,340 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.
