How well Roundabout holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 11°, Roundabout gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Devils Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Devils Head. Its top sits at 1,230 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.
