How well Rainbow Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Rainbow Ridge gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 7,880 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.
