How well Sundance holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 19°, Sundance gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 7,030 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.
