How well Berry's holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 23°, Berry's gets about 45% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 9,130 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.
