How well Funnel holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 26°, Funnel gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 80th shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 11,180 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.
