How well Last Chance holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 10°, Last Chance gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,910 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.
