How well South Star Trail holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 4°, South Star Trail gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 7,100 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
