How well Townsight holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Townsight gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pajarito Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Pajarito Mountain. Its top sits at 9,970 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.
