How well 1st Street holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, 1st Street gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 9,300 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.
