How well Miami Beach holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 12°, Miami Beach gets about 138% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 7,890 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
