How well Paranormal holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing west at an average 27°, Paranormal gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 76th shadiest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 7,520 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.
