How well Sneaker holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Sneaker gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,050 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.
