How well Byron's Park holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 17°, Byron's Park gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 8,220 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.
