How well Screaming Cheatah holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 8°, Screaming Cheatah gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,250 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.
