How well Wildflower Downhill holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 20°, Wildflower Downhill gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 8,690 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.
