How well Sunny Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Sunny Ridge gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd 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

Measured by ZRankings from 30-meter elevation data from Natural Resources Canada, too coarse to measure steepness. Steepest pitch is the steepest stretch of about 50 vertical feet along the skiable line. Run lines come from OpenStreetMap and can sit a little off the skied path.
