How well Easy Trip holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 4°, Easy Trip gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Taos does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th shadiest named run at Taos. Its top sits at 11,420 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.
