How well Gong Show holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 24°, Gong Show gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,220 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.
