How well Fannie's Folley holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Fannie's Folley gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Afton Alps does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Afton Alps. Its top sits at 890 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.
