How well Meeteetse Trail holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Meeteetse Trail gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 7,960 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.
