How well Seminole holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Seminole gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,360 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.
