How well Pearl holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 8°, Pearl gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,030 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.
