How well Game Trail holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 6°, Game Trail gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 10,320 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.
