How well War Path holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 18°, War Path gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 6,950 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.
