How well Tamarack holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 8°, Tamarack gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,320 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.
