How well So What! holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, So What! gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 9,450 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.
