How well Whistlestop holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 5°, Whistlestop gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,210 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.
