How well Snow Storm holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Snow Storm gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,960 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.
