How well Park holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Park gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loup Loup does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Loup Loup. Its top sits at 5,020 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.
