How well Fliprock holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Fliprock gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 8,940 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.
