How well Number One holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Number One gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,420 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.
