How well Noah's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Noah's gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,610 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.
