How well East Beginner holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, East Beginner gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pajarito Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Pajarito Mountain. Its top sits at 9,520 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.
