How well Last Tango holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Last Tango gets about 51% 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 3rd shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 8,950 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.
