How well Wagon Trail holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 7°, Wagon Trail gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sierra-At-Tahoe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Sierra-At-Tahoe. Its top sits at 8,810 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.
