How well Attridge Face holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 18°, Attridge Face gets about 131% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 6,060 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.
