How well Eddy Out holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Eddy Out gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 9,360 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.
