How well Tamarack holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Tamarack gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,630 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
