How well Coaches holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 18°, Coaches gets about 156% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,720 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.
