How well Alpine Meadows Slope holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 15°, Alpine Meadows Slope gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,800 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.
