How well Ramshorn holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Ramshorn gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 107th shadiest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 11,230 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.
