How well Zone South holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 8°, Zone South gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th sunniest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 5,260 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.
