How well Little Finger holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 23°, Little Finger gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 7,610 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.
