How well Vicky's holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 21°, Vicky's gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th sunniest named run at Alta. Its top sits at 9,900 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.
