How well Spring Creek holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Spring Creek gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,020 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.
