How well Golden Age holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, Golden Age gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 85th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,910 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.
