How well Misfire holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 4°, Misfire gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,050 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.
