How well Stagecoach Alley holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, Stagecoach Alley gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 5,720 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
