How well Lower Showtime holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 14°, Lower Showtime gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 6,690 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
