How well Wild Spur Trail holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Wild Spur Trail gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,680 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.
