How well Pete's Dragon holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 7°, Pete's Dragon gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Devils Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Devils Head. Its top sits at 990 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.
