How well Camp Three holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Camp Three gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,220 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.
