How well Leigh Lane holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 6°, Leigh Lane gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 8,690 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.
