How well Home Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Home Run gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Alta. Its top sits at 9,230 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.
