How well Peanut Trail holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Peanut Trail gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 91st sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 6,050 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
