How well Gee Whiz holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 6°, Gee Whiz gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 2,360 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.
