How well Charisma holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 26°, Charisma gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,440 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.
