How well Narrow Gauge holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 23°, Narrow Gauge gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 102nd shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,810 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
