How well Segundo holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 15°, Segundo gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 60th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 9,230 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.
