How well Emma's holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 25°, Emma's gets about 140% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 6,810 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.
