How well Tribulation holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Tribulation gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Purgatory does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Purgatory. Its top sits at 9,720 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.
