How well Gateway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 6°, Gateway gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. 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.
