How well Ranger Trail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 15°, Ranger Trail gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,100 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.
