How well Glade Runner holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Glade Runner gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,920 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.
