How well Ramarah's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 40°, Ramarah's gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 9,350 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
