How well Kohli's Big Timber holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 29°, Kohli's Big Timber gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 6,300 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.
