How well Ebb holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 20°, Ebb gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 97th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,370 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.
