Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 25°, 100 last Turns gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,190 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.
