How well Exterminator holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Exterminator gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loup Loup does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Loup Loup. Its top sits at 4,800 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.
