How well Just Dandy holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Just Dandy gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,980 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.
