How well Cedar Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 12°, Cedar Ridge gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 6,770 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.
