How well Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Ridge gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loup Loup does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Loup Loup. Its top sits at 5,290 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.
