How well Paymaster holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 23°, Paymaster gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,640 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.
