How well Tinhorn holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 10°, Tinhorn gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 9,970 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.
