How well Headed South holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 5°, Headed South gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 7,810 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.
