How well The Peace Pipe holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 4°, The Peace Pipe gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,280 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.
