How well Medicine Bow Terrain Park holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Medicine Bow Terrain Park gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,260 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
