How well Little Raven holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 20°, Little Raven gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,380 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.
