How well Coyote holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Coyote gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Warner Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Warner Canyon. Its top sits at 6,160 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.
