How well Stumpy's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 25°, Stumpy's gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,090 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.
