How well Goldrush holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 9°, Goldrush gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 8,830 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.
