How well Caledonia holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Caledonia gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,950 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
