How well Redwing holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Redwing gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,990 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.
