How well Cal's Country holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 11°, Cal's Country gets about 131% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,210 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.
