How well Log Flume holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 6°, Log Flume gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,500 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.
