How well Ridge Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 5°, Ridge Run gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Diamond Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Diamond Peak. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
