How well Pop Gun holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 11°, Pop Gun gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,100 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.
