How well Big Horn Trail holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Big Horn Trail gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,350 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
