How well Far Out holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 14°, Far Out gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,350 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.
