How well Rock 'N Blue holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Rock 'N Blue gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,850 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.
