How well Colt holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Colt gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,310 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
