How well East 40 holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 9°, East 40 gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 89th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,900 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.
