How well Wild Bill holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 12°, Wild Bill gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,280 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.
