How well Triple Slope holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Triple Slope gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,380 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.
