How well Flatnose holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Flatnose gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 6,880 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.
