How well Lower Muzzle holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Lower Muzzle gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Labrador Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Labrador Mountain. Its top sits at 1,630 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.
