How well Take 2 holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 24°, Take 2 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 7,520 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.
