How well Oh Zone holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Oh Zone gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 5,100 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.
