How well Age of Reason holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 11°, Age of Reason gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,990 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.
