How well Upper Peacemaker holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Upper Peacemaker gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Powderhorn. Its top sits at 8,790 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.
