How well Lower Green Canyon holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 17°, Lower Green Canyon gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 7,720 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.
