How well Wahoo! holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 17°, Wahoo! gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 6,230 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.
