How well Last Tango holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 16°, Last Tango gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,050 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.
