How well Cutback holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 5°, Cutback gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 9,520 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.
