How well Augusta holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 10°, Augusta gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 9,460 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.
