How well Navajo Loop holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing north at an average 4°, Navajo Loop gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,220 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.
