How well Maverick holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 18°, Maverick gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,590 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.
