How well Lower Tuck holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Lower Tuck gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,680 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.
