How well Rodeo Drive holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 9°, Rodeo Drive gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,420 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.
