How well Dipsy Doodle holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 7°, Dipsy Doodle gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Alta. Its top sits at 9,450 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.
