How well Falling Water holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southwest at an average 6°, Falling Water gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,140 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.
