How well Betwixt holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Betwixt gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 6,670 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.
