How well Caren's Colors holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 20°, Caren's Colors gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,830 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.
