How well Trapper holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 24°, Trapper gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,870 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.
