How well Vagabond holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 10°, Vagabond gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 5,550 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.
