How well McHenry holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 6°, McHenry gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 73rd sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,130 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
