How well Get Back holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 17°, Get Back gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 6,550 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
