How well Summit Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 11°, Summit Run gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Summit does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Snow Summit. Its top sits at 8,140 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.
