How well Old Ladies holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 24°, Old Ladies gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,800 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
