How well Aida's holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Aida's gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,940 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.
