How well Cunningham Slide holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 23°, Cunningham Slide gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,340 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.
