How well Snowshoe holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Snowshoe gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,180 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.
