How well Shauna's Secret holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 31°, Shauna's Secret gets about 39% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,840 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.
