How well Pork Barrel holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 21°, Pork Barrel gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 8,710 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.
