How well Lemolo holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 24°, Lemolo gets about 39% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mission Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Mission Ridge. Its top sits at 6,530 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.
