How well Tiegel holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 5°, Tiegel gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alpine Meadows does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 56th sunniest named run at Alpine Meadows. Its top sits at 7,070 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.
