How well Arrowhead holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 35°, Arrowhead gets about 35% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 9,290 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.
