How well Revenge holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 10°, Revenge gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Devils Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Devils Head. Its top sits at 1,420 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
