How well Little Stumpy holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 25°, Little Stumpy gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,970 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.
