How well Ice Tea holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Ice Tea gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,270 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.
