How well Secret Squirrel holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 19°, Secret Squirrel gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,790 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.
