How well Silverwoods Skiway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, Silverwoods Skiway gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 56th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,270 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.
