How well Crocodile holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Crocodile gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,280 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.
