How well Dart holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 3°, Dart gets about 144% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 6,510 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
