How well West 2nd South On-Ramp holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 4°, West 2nd South On-Ramp gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 8,170 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.
