How well Perseverance holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 20°, Perseverance gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 101st sunniest 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.
