How well Lookout holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Lookout gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 82nd shadiest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 11,010 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
