How well Fine Wine holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 24°, Fine Wine gets about 143% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 7,890 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.
