How well Silver Horn holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 27°, Silver Horn gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 104th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,760 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.
