How well Wildflower Finish holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Wildflower Finish gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 6,780 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
