How well RW holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, RW gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,260 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.
