How well Peace holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 11°, Peace gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Purgatory does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th shadiest named run at Purgatory. Its top sits at 10,460 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
