How well Daylight holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Daylight gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 6,680 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.
