How well Home Run holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 7°, Home Run gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,940 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.
