How well American Flag holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 3°, American Flag gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 114th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,490 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.
