How well Innsbruck holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 11°, Innsbruck gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,750 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.
