How well Flap Jack holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Flap Jack gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 4,750 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.
