How well Tomahawk holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 20°, Tomahawk gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 11,690 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
