How well 2nd Street holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 22°, 2nd Street gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 9,290 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.
