How well Ado holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 18°, Ado gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 7,310 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
