How well Cortina Trail holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Cortina Trail gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,830 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.
