How well Luckey Boy holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 15°, Luckey Boy gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,520 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
