How well West 2nd South Long holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, West 2nd South Long gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 68th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 8,090 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.
