How well Tug of War holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Tug of War gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 60th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,170 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.
