How well Red Lens Line holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 6°, Red Lens Line gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 82nd shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 9,810 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.
