How well Exit Gully holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 26°, Exit Gully gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 9,620 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.
