How well Paiute holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Paiute gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,270 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.
