How well Swifty Park holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 10°, Swifty Park gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 139th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,390 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.
