How well Rock Creek holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 5°, Rock Creek gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 5,030 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.
