How well Perimeter holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Perimeter gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th sunniest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 8,690 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.
