How well Tiger holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 21°, Tiger gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 10,330 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.
