How well Funnel holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 13°, Funnel gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 7,580 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.
