How well Papoose holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 10°, Papoose gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 6,500 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.
