How well Oo-La-La holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 17°, Oo-La-La gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 7,620 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
