How well North Gully Escape holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 9°, North Gully Escape gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 7,030 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.
