How well 16-To-1 holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 27°, 16-To-1 gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 6,200 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.
