How well Lost Warrior holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 26°, Lost Warrior gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,970 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.
