How well Big Timber holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Big Timber gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,000 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
