How well Caution Corner holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 18°, Caution Corner gets about 125% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,970 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.
