How well Turkey Shoot holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 12°, Turkey Shoot gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 8,550 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
