How well Max Out holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 18°, Max Out gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pebble Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Pebble Creek. Its top sits at 8,510 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.
