How well Knoll Skiway West holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southwest at an average 2°, Knoll Skiway West gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 76th sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,390 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.
