How well Temple holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Temple gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pine does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at White Pine. Its top sits at 9,310 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.
