How well Six Shooter holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 11°, Six Shooter gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,300 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.
