How well North Park holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, North Park gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 8,900 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.
