How well Mo-Z-Down holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 18°, Mo-Z-Down gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Turner Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Turner Mountain. Its top sits at 4,780 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.
