How well No Whiners holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 17°, No Whiners gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sipapu does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Sipapu. Its top sits at 8,980 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
