How well Old 30 Meter holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Old 30 Meter gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,250 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.
