How well South Ridge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, South Ridge gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,480 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.
