How well Pete Gay holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Pete Gay gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,870 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
