How well Old School holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Old School gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,520 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.
