How well Stumptown holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Stumptown gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,540 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.
