How well Grindewald holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Grindewald gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,720 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.
