How well Agassiz holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Agassiz gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 9,860 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
