How well Skyline Creek holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Skyline Creek gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Summit does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Snow Summit. Its top sits at 8,180 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.
