How well Marker's Mark holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Marker's Mark gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th shadiest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 5,300 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.

Nearby at Panorama

Measured by ZRankings from 30-meter elevation data from Natural Resources Canada, too coarse to measure steepness. Steepest pitch is the steepest stretch of about 50 vertical feet along the skiable line. Run lines come from OpenStreetMap and can sit a little off the skied path.
