How well Round-a-Bout holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 5°, Round-a-Bout gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th shadiest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 8,040 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.
