How well Grapevine holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 4°, Grapevine gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 7,890 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.
