How well OutRigger Trail holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 20°, OutRigger Trail gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,620 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
