How well Flim Flam holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Flim Flam gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,850 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.
