How well Sunway holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 11°, Sunway gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,980 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.
