How well Lo Fro Zone holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Lo Fro Zone gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 8,420 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.
