How well Way Home holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 6°, Way Home gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 7,800 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.
