How well High Roller holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 24°, High Roller gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,940 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.
