How well Side Street holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 12°, Side Street gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 6,930 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.
