How well The Narrows holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 6°, The Narrows gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 9,970 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
