How well Stagecoach holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Stagecoach gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 9,000 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.
