How well Blue Ledge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 26°, Blue Ledge 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 117th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,300 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.
