How well Bigfoot Skiway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Bigfoot Skiway gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 6,170 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.
