How well Rock & Roll holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Rock & Roll gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 11,110 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.
