How well Easy Street holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Easy Street gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 81st sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,110 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
