How well Black Pine Street holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Black Pine Street gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,320 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.
