How well Hart Prairie holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 10°, Hart Prairie gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 9,850 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.
