How well Sultan Connection holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Sultan Connection gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,920 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.
