How well Porky Face holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Porky Face gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd sunniest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 8,480 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.
