How well Tiger holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 4°, Tiger gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 9,990 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
