How well Sweetwater Gap holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Sweetwater Gap gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pine does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at White Pine. Its top sits at 8,760 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
