How well Last Chance holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Last Chance gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Summit does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Snow Summit. Its top sits at 7,860 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.
