How well Dog Leg holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 15°, Dog Leg gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th sunniest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,300 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.
