How well Zebra Trees holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 15°, Zebra Trees gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,350 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
