How well Double Exposure holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 31°, Double Exposure gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 94th sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,660 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.
