How well Rockslide holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 19°, Rockslide gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,560 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.
