How well Yahoo holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Yahoo gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,300 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.
