How well Rodeo holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Rodeo gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,050 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
