How well Adager holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 25°, Adager gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 8,930 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.
