How well Musket holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 6°, Musket gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,090 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.
