How well Holy Land holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Holy Land gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 6,510 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
