How well Here's Joe holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Here's Joe gets about 42% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,340 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.

Nearby at Silver Star
