How well Lower Rodeo holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southwest at an average 11°, Lower Rodeo gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 6,550 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
