Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 19°, Upper Domingo gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,230 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.
