How well Little Cloud holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Little Cloud gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 3,050 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.
