How well Snow Devil holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Snow Devil gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 6,340 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.
