How well Gateway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 5°, Gateway gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,170 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.
