How well Overland holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Overland gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,520 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.
