How well Lower Trigger holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 10°, Lower Trigger gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,210 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.
