How well Steve's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Steve's gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pine does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at White Pine. Its top sits at 9,140 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.
