How well Edgar's Alley holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Edgar's Alley gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,890 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.
