How well Dribble Down holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Dribble Down gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,420 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.
