How well Dungeons holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Dungeons gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Shawness Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Shawness Peak. Its top sits at 1,750 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.
