How well Paradise Glades holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 20°, Paradise Glades gets about 39% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,250 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.
