How well Dandy Glades holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Dandy Glades gets about 53% 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 35th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,710 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.
