How well Amazing Grace holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 7°, Amazing Grace gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 7,250 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.
