How well Ruby's Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Ruby's Ridge gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 7,180 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.
