How well North Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, North Ridge gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,620 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.
