How well The Strip holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, The Strip gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,060 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.
