How well Solo holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 15°, Solo gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Spout Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Spout Springs. Its top sits at 5,450 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.
