How well Dream holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Dream gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 7,130 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.
