How well Sugar n' Spice holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 7°, Sugar n' Spice gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sierra-At-Tahoe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Sierra-At-Tahoe. Its top sits at 8,830 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
