How well Four O'Clock Trail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Four O'Clock Trail gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eldora does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Eldora. Its top sits at 9,810 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.
