How well Silver holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 16°, Silver gets about 114% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,140 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
