How well Kinnikinnic holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Kinnikinnic gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,350 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.
