How well Outlook Way holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 4°, Outlook Way gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 119th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,310 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.
