How well Dream Catcher holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, Dream Catcher gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 8,770 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.
