How well Reindeer holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 4°, Reindeer gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,250 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.
