How well The Loop holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 7°, The Loop gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 73rd sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,870 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.
