How well Garth's Gully holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 5°, Garth's Gully gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Lemmon does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Mt Lemmon. Its top sits at 8,300 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.
