How well Fields of Glory holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 31°, Fields of Glory gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 63rd shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,530 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.
