How well Little Teaser holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Little Teaser gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Buttermilk does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Buttermilk. Its top sits at 9,280 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.
