How well Amy's Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Amy's Ridge gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 8,250 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.
