How well Wind Shot holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Wind Shot gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 6,000 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
