How well Daytona holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Daytona gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,490 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.
