How well Rabbit Flats holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 6°, Rabbit Flats 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 61st sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 4,760 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.
