How well Trapper's Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Trapper's Ridge gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 70th shadiest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 4,410 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.
