How well Herbert's holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Herbert's gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th sunniest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 8,060 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
