How well Tantrum holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, Tantrum gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 9,370 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.
