How well Catamount holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 15°, Catamount gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 7,010 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.
