How well Lynx Lane holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 7°, Lynx Lane gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at A-Basin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th sunniest named run at A-Basin. Its top sits at 11,530 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.
