How well Grizzly Run holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 18°, Grizzly Run gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,680 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.
