How well Goonies Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 18°, Goonies Ridge gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,620 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.
