How well Main Street holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Main Street gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,150 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.
