How well Inga’s Run holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing north at an average 3°, Inga’s Run gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Afton Alps does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Afton Alps. Its top sits at 740 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
