How well Taco Trail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Taco Trail gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kissing Bridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Kissing Bridge. Its top sits at 1,580 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.
