Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, North Turtle Creek gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th sunniest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 11,590 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.
