How well Bozeman Trail holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 4°, Bozeman Trail gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 128th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,110 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
