How well Lower Primrose Path holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 17°, Lower Primrose Path gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 56th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 9,570 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.
