How well Nabob holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 16°, Nabob 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 71st shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,270 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.
