How well Upper College holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 21°, Upper College gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Anthony Lakes does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Anthony Lakes. Its top sits at 7,900 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
