How well Old Lady's Flats holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 18°, Old Lady's Flats gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 6,670 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.
