How well Can-Can holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 21°, Can-Can gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,620 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.
