How well Cut Throat holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 13°, Cut Throat gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Labrador Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Labrador Mountain. Its top sits at 1,840 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.
