How well Picture Perfect holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 16°, Picture Perfect gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 7,490 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.
