How well Peanut holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 6°, Peanut gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,340 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.
