How well Swingsville holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Swingsville gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 121st shadiest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 11,250 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.
