How well Me First holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 17°, Me First gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 7,570 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.
