How well Prospect holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Prospect gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 6,700 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.
