How well Silvertip holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 9°, Silvertip gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Shasta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Mt Shasta. Its top sits at 6,110 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
