How well Minnow holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Minnow gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,250 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.
