How well Dalton's Draw holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 28°, Dalton's Draw gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 9,710 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.
