How well First Time holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, First Time gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 9,760 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.
