How well First Timer holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 6°, First Timer gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 6,610 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.
