How well Fairview holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Fairview gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,860 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.
