How well Little Ten holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Little Ten gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,010 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.
