How well Doug's Run holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 7°, Doug's Run gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 6,500 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.
