How well Lunchline (Upper) holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Lunchline (Upper) gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,220 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.
