How well Easy Money holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Easy Money gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,780 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.
