How well Fly Home holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 5°, Fly Home gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,680 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.
