How well Corner Stone holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 6°, Corner Stone gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,040 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.
