How well Comet Trail holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 10°, Comet Trail gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,220 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.
