How well Henry's North holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Henry's North gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 10,810 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.
