How well Elk Meadows holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 9°, Elk Meadows gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,360 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.
