How well Cub's Way holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Cub's Way gets about 83% 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 90th sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 10,320 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.
