How well Viola holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 10°, Viola gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,250 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.
