How well Ruby Run holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 5°, Ruby Run gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 3,210 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
