How well Madison holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Madison gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 11,440 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.
