How well Yaz holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Yaz gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,190 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.
