How well Alpinglow Alley holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Alpinglow Alley gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 79th sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 5,160 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.
