How well Reindeer holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Reindeer gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Big Powderhorn. Its top sits at 1,320 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.
