How well Muddler holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Muddler gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 2,810 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.
