How well Six Shooter SPMC holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 6°, Six Shooter SPMC gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 94th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
