How well Webber holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Webber gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Northstar does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Northstar. Its top sits at 8,030 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.
