How well Crazy Horse holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 21°, Crazy Horse gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 9,840 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.
