How well Green Acres holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 13°, Green Acres gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,240 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.
