How well The Gully holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, The Gully gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,570 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.
