How well Larry’s Leap holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Larry’s Leap gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 65th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,160 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.
