How well Wong's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 26°, Wong's gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 7,380 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.
