How well Dead Horse holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Dead Horse gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 7,850 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.
