How well Charisma holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Charisma gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 11,310 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
