How well Lobo holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 22°, Lobo gets about 40% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 8,380 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.
