How well Rendezvous holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 25°, Rendezvous gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,780 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
