How well WFO holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 18°, WFO gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 8,250 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
