How well Martini Shot holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 22°, Martini Shot gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,250 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.
