How well Robbie's Runout holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Robbie's Runout gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 116th shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,030 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.
