How well Stardust holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Stardust 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 21st shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,360 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.
