How well Tye Creek holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 8°, Tye Creek gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,310 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.
