How well Snaggletooth holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 14°, Snaggletooth gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,660 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.
