How well Ookpic holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Ookpic gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
