How well Spring Creek holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 20°, Spring Creek gets about 141% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,310 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
