How well Mid Mountain Way holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 3°, Mid Mountain Way gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 6,860 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.
