How well Little Bighorn holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 10°, Little Bighorn gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,320 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
