How well Lunkerville holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Lunkerville gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 80th shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,510 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
