How well Skid Row holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Skid Row gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 7,610 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.
