How well Sidewinder Glades holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Sidewinder Glades gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 7,230 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.
