How well Stampede holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Stampede gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,760 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.
