How well Stinger holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Stinger gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 9,880 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.
