How well Trappers Trail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 20°, Trappers Trail gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,610 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.
