How well Catalina holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Catalina gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mountain High does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Mountain High. Its top sits at 8,100 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.
