How well Gunslinger holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Gunslinger gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,530 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.
