How well North Rim holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, North Rim gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,720 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.
