How well Paint Your Wagon holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Paint Your Wagon gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Anthony Lakes does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Anthony Lakes. Its top sits at 7,880 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.
