How well Mock Turtle holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 7°, Mock Turtle gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 9,970 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.
