How well Redfinger holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 24°, Redfinger gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,700 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.
