How well Outpost Run holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 4°, Outpost Run gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,400 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.
