How well Kassanova holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 27°, Kassanova gets about 34% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,320 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
