How well Big Kash holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Big Kash gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 103rd sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 9,010 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.
