How well Lynx holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 11°, Lynx gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 81st sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,510 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.
