How well Ringer's Run holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 27°, Ringer's Run gets about 137% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hemlock Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Hemlock Resort. Its top sits at 4,240 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
