How well G-Face holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 24°, G-Face gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,710 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.
