How well Crocodile holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 18°, Crocodile gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,570 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.
