How well Marmot holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Marmot gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 10,550 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.
