How well Meadow holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 11°, Meadow gets about 135% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,080 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.
