How well LowerTerrible Edith holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 25°, LowerTerrible Edith gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 4,990 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.
