How well Happy Valley holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Happy Valley gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Spout Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Spout Springs. Its top sits at 5,440 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
