How well Lower Pollux holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, Lower Pollux gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,460 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.
