How well Rebel holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 16°, Rebel gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 9,490 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
