How well Cruiser holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 9°, Cruiser gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mountain High does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Mountain High. Its top sits at 7,230 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.
