How well Laramie holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Laramie gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,640 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.
