How well South Shuttle holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 4°, South Shuttle gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kissing Bridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Kissing Bridge. Its top sits at 1,710 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
