How well Rodeo holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Rodeo gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bear Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Bear Valley. Its top sits at 8,020 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.
