How well B Roll holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 23°, B Roll gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,390 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.
