How well Adios holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 2°, Adios gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,270 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.
