How well Cross Over holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 6°, Cross Over gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,520 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.
