How well Rewrite holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 26°, Rewrite gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th shadiest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 11,120 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.
