How well White Owl holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 19°, White Owl gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 96th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,840 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.
