How well Showoff holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, Showoff gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,370 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.
