918 feet of lift-served vertical, from a base of 863 ft to a summit of
1,781 ft. Measured from the lowest and highest lift terminal on this
mountain — not a box around a map pin — and cut into
3 five-hundred-foot bands.

Slope and aspect are the Horn 3×3 method on a ~13 m DEM. A band's
aspect is the direction of the mean unit vector, not the mean of the angles.
NDJFM mm is the PRISM 1991–2020 November–March precipitation normal at
that height — liquid equivalent, not snow depth.
How this mountain gets scored
the verification station
No SNOTEL within 25 km. SNOTEL is a western network, so this
mountain is verified against the NOHRSC snowfall analysis and the nearest COOP and ASOS
observations instead — all coarser, and none of them at summit height. That is a
real limit on what can be claimed here, and it is stated rather than hidden.
