How well Cappuccino holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Cappuccino gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 89th sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 10,930 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.
